About this listen
I’m caught between two powerful fae princes. One will be my savior. The other will be my ruin.
I’ve spent years trapped behind these walls—cursed to live among the sleeping for eternity. When trespassers find their way into my castle, it’s both a dream and a nightmare.
Prince Callan is the first visitor I’ve had in years—and the realm’s most arrogant prick. He’s also the only one with the power to break this wretched curse and restore my kingdom.
Unfortunately, Callan’s assistance comes at a price. If I want his help, I’ll have to belong to him.
A sacrifice I’m willing to make for the people I love.
Until I lay eyes on Rydian.
The second fae prince is everything the elder heir is not. Strong, wise—lethal. He is a distraction I can’t afford.
And he hates me on sight.
In a realm where evil disguises itself as friendship, I am forced to rely on two men whose disgust for each other is only outweighed by their obsession with me. One of them will save me, the other will tear me apart. I just wish I knew which to trust with my life—and my heart.
A Kingdom of Briars & Roses is a slow-burn, royal fae romantasy that includes morally gray characters, enemies-to-lovers, political intrigue, who did this to you, and touch her and unalive.

The Fae are gone and the monsters reign. Lunaria was always a land full of nightmares. But when the Fae vanished without a trace, we had to make sacrifices to survive. From the ashes, the Moroi Houses rose. As the Heir to one of the most influential Houses, I’ve always known that an arranged marriage would be part of my future. One where I ruled alongside my husband as we fought to strengthen the crumbling alliances of our people. When I’m betrayed by my husband and his House, however, I return home to an uncertain future—and to both my childhood crush and my arch-nemesis.

It had a good laugh when I found my boyfriend of four years in bed with my best friend. It was rolling on the floor when the same backstabbing beasts stole my dream school, landing me in a different state, where I didn’t know a single soul. You’d think after all that, it’d cut me a break, right? Wrong. Enter its next jest, and this one’s a doozy. Kai Elliot. Campus womanizer. Self-proclaimed bad boy. And the new bane of my existence—but not for the reason you might think.

I knew the world was bigger than the small town I grew up in, but discovering just how large it really is might send me into a spiral. Demons exist, and not only that, they have a carnival they run on Earth, full of the most vile people crafting deals to further their bad deeds. And yet, it’s in this tent of sin that I find my savior. With a deal sealed by a kiss, I’m sworn protection by the most fearsome creature I have ever laid eyes on. The only problem is, I’m not sure he can protect me from his world too.

Captivating book
I love this book particularly in audio version the story is compelling with beautiful complex characters including a few badass women. The tension is fantastic and I love the magic system. I am looking forward to the sequel but while the end leaves questions it’s not a crazy cliffhanger.
